Year in Review Holiday Card 2

Since I can only post up to 5 image previews in my etsy shop, I wanted to share some alternate designs here on the blog. One thing that I love about my clients is their ideas and thoughts to make the cards their own.

Individual highlights
2014 Summary in Numbers

Colors: Black, Grey, Mint Green
Icons with just names and ages (for pets as well!). 
Travel map includes just the southwest states
Bullet highlights.

Variation 4
Colors: Black & Red
Spread the info on top for Mom & Dad
Small section for child
State section

Variation 6
Colors: Silver & Navy
Larger area on top for "About Us"
Home state and pet to the right of the map.
Space for one child. 
Paragraph of highlights.

Variation 7

Stand out area for their "Big Announcement," section filled with red, with white type and icons.
Map Outline
Bullet point highlights instead of a paragraph

Variation 8
Colors: Red, Black & Gray
Family of three icon 
Pet & State at the top.
Three About Us sections at the bottom
Family Highlights to the right of the map.

Variation 9

Spots for 5 family members
Extended the kids' highlights to the bottom
Shortened the Family highlights to add pet


Variation10
Colors: Gray & Light Gold
Kept all the information short and sweet.
Added their two pets and a cute description of both of them.

Variation 11
Colors: Black, Red, & Gray
Larger "About Us" sections for the kids
Small pet section to split up the kids
Numbers in Review Highlights

Variation 12
Colors: Black, Grey, Mint Green

These are so versatile, and can be used for Year in Review cards, whether you get them out before Christmas, or after the New Year!
